Encountering Mary in Art
Mary is the most represented woman in European art from the 6th to the 18th century. These works of art include many of the most celebrated masterpieces in the world’s finest art collections. Today, these works are often not observed or understood in their art historical and theological context.
I have developed a three-part lecture series designed for church groups and secondary schools exploring the representation of Mary’s life in Western art and examining the theology and traditions informing those works of art
Mary’s Childhood to the Annunciation
Mary as Young Mother
Mary at the Foot of the Cross and the Assumption
Some of the works are shown here
Saint Anne in Art
In the Catholic Tradition, Saint Anne has a special role as the mother of Mary. This is a single lecture or interactive presentation designed for church groups, secondary schools and others exploring the development of the representation of Saint Anne in Western art and examining the theology and traditions informing those works of art.
Some of the works are shown here








Theology on Tap
Guided interactive discussions with young adult audiences on the representation of Mary in Western art
